artist statement/bio:
BT Livermore was born in Minnesota, and like all Minnesotans is covered head to toe with a downy layer of fur with which to keep warm during the winter. Almost six years ago, he decided to trade in six months of snow for six months of rain and is now living in beautiful Portland, Oregon. His work has been described as ” a modern take on a drug-crazed, 1930s brain” and “vaudeville awesome.” Cartoonish people and creatures abound in BT’s prints, paintings, and illustrations, as well as a preponderance of vintage-inspired, hand-lettered typography.
He has been screenprinting, and self-publishing comics and art books consistently since 2005, and has recently started his own small press imprint, Banner Year Press. His books include: B is for Beard, The Life & Times of Baby Otto Zeplin, BEARFIGHT, and Fadge. He also co-runs a moustache wax company, Man’s Face Stuff.
